| #4 Article I, II, and III specify the organization of the national government. It can not be part of one of the branches and independent of it. You work for one or the other. Unless you have been granted Civil Service protection, in the Executive, you work for the President at his whim. The Fed was founded to end the cycle of financial 'crashes' of the 19th Century. It's presided over one depression (probably more if you use the original metrics of the '30s) and several 'deep' recessions. It has failed it reason to exist. It has played politics in many of its considerations. It's just another corrupted institution (see - FBI, DoJ). |

| #1 Powell needs to understand that the only person in government that answers to no one in the supreme court. Powell has a boss, and it is republican led and when Trump says its time to go, they will act. |
